Speaking of lingcod, has anyone tried dropping a mackerel down on the bottom in hopes of a Ling? Just thinking I might do that next time I'm out there.

Good idea, its easy to make bait on the way out. I was thinking of picking up live squid from the bait barge and dropping whole ones down there. Last we went out I had a tank full of squid but the weather permitted us from going out.
